But what if you want to add some star power to your game? Rather than create your own or importing them from other players, Nintendo is now offering Miis of Christina Aguilera, Shaquille O'Neal, Debby Ryan, Shaun White, and Zendaya.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">To add these Miis to your game, simply go to <a href="http://tomodachi.nintendo.com/sharing-miis/#/" rel="nofollow">Tomodachi Life's official site</a> and click on one of the celebrity Miis to pull up their QR code. In the game, visit the Town Hall and choose "QR Code," then "Scan QR Code," and follow the instructions to import that Mii.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">Tomodachi Life was first released in Japan in April 2013, where it went on to sell <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/articles/wii-u-sales-reach-6-17-million-as-nintendo-reveals-best-selling-games-to-date/1100-6419486/">1.85 million copies</a>. The game was released in North America and Europe on June 6, and earned a <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/tomodachi-life-review/1900-6415783/">good review from GameSpot</a>.</p><p style="">For more on <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/tomodachi-life/">Tomodachi Life</a>, be sure to read <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/tomodachi-life/">GameSpot's previous coverage</a>.</p><table data-max-width="true"><thead><tr><th scope="col"><em>Emanuel Maiberg is a freelance writer.

It's developed and managed by Even Balance, not EA. In recent years, games like Call of Duty have been switching from PunkBuster to Valve's Anti-Cheat solution (VAC). Even EA's Titanfall, for example, uses a different anti-cheat program, FairFight, but the Battlefield games including the upcoming <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/battlefield-hardline/">Battlefield Hardline</a> continue to use PunkBuster.</p><p style="">If you've been impacted by this issue, EA said you can appeal the ban directly by following <a href="http://help.ea.com/en/article/punkbuster-bans-and-violations/" rel="nofollow">the instructions found here</a>.

Nine states resulted in a tie, probably because of the way Facebook rounds-off audience estimates. The Wii U was in the running, but didn't earn more than half the "likes" of either Xbox One or PS4 in any state.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">As you can see in the map above, Xbox One is more popular on the coasts and most populated states, while PS4 is more popular in the heartland.

Visiontrick previously said that means you don't control the main character himself, but rather the world around him, and that this "indirect control" is what it means by "fourth-person."</p><p dir="ltr" style="">In addition to releasing a new, extended trailer, Co-founder and Creative Director at Visiontrick Media, Henrik Flink, recently took to the PlayStation Blog to provide an only slightly less vague explanation of the three fundamental components that make up Pavilion's puzzle design.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">The first of the three components is the main character you can see running around in the trailer above. "His behaviors and personality need to be observed, understood and aided, for you both to traverse and progress in the game," Flink said. The second component is the environment itself, with the layout of the surrounding world affecting the character's traversal. The third component is the interactive objects that can be manipulated to affect both the environment and, indirectly, the main character.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">"We're also happy to see conversations about the fourth person term," Flink said. "Though, the indirect steering is not solely the reason for us to use the term. Unfortunately we can't go deeper into its meanings without spoiling certain parts of the experience that we'd rather have you experience while playing."</p><p style="">So that's still pretty confusing to me, but we'll be able to get our hands on Pavilion and see what it's all about ourselves when it comes out later this fall, exclusively for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.</p><table data-max-width="true"><thead><tr><th scope="col"><em>Emanuel Maiberg is a freelance writer.

Nine states resulted in a tie, probably because of the way Facebook rounds-off audience estimates. The Wii U was in the running, but didn't earn more than half the "likes" of either Xbox One or PS4 in any state.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">As you can see in the map above, Xbox One is more popular on the coasts and most populated states, while PS4 is more popular in the heartland.

Visiontrick previously said that means you don't control the main character himself, but rather the world around him, and that this "indirect control" is what it means by "fourth-person."</p><p dir="ltr" style="">In addition to releasing a new, extended trailer, Co-founder and Creative Director at Visiontrick Media, Henrik Flink, recently took to the PlayStation Blog to provide an only slightly less vague explanation of the three fundamental components that make up Pavilion's puzzle design.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">The first of the three components is the main character you can see running around in the trailer above. "His behaviors and personality need to be observed, understood and aided, for you both to traverse and progress in the game," Flink said. The second component is the environment itself, with the layout of the surrounding world affecting the character's traversal. The third component is the interactive objects that can be manipulated to affect both the environment and, indirectly, the main character.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">"We're also happy to see conversations about the fourth person term," Flink said. "Though, the indirect steering is not solely the reason for us to use the term. Unfortunately we can't go deeper into its meanings without spoiling certain parts of the experience that we'd rather have you experience while playing."</p><p style="">So that's still pretty confusing to me, but we'll be able to get our hands on Pavilion and see what it's all about ourselves when it comes out later this fall, exclusively for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.</p><table data-max-width="true"><thead><tr><th scope="col"><em>Emanuel Maiberg is a freelance writer.
